I am new to the forum. Thanks in advance for your help and for letting me play along.
I'm working on a 428CJ (now a 462) with an Edelbrock ProFlo2 fuel injection system that I built about 4 years ago. I have a wide band O2 sensor, Ethanol Meter and Knock Sensor on board so I have nailed down the fuel ratios pretty close but I have no idea what to do with the spark map. The base maps from Edelbrock are for a much milder and smaller motor so I am sure they are not optimum - nor does it run as strong as I think it should.
Does anyone have a spark map that is working well on a similar motor or can you point me in the right direction?
I'm not sure if this is way too much information or not nearly enough - but this is what I built.
- 69 Mach 1, Q code, 428SCJ
- 0.030 over with a SCAT rotating assembly to make 462 cubic inches
- Static Compression Ratio = 11.77
- Dynamic Compression Ratio = 8.26
- Quench Height = 0.038"
- Aluminum Edelbrock 60069 Heads
- Combustion Chamber Volume = 72cc
- Intake Runner Volume = 177cc
- Valve Size Intake / Exhaust = 2.090 / 1.660
- Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller
- Duration @0.050" Intake / Exhaust = 234 / 240
- Advertised Duration @ 0.006 = 287 / 293
- Gross Lift = 0.594 / 0.598
- 112° Lobe SEparation Angle
- Installed at 110° intake centerline
- Hooker Supercomp Headers
- 1-7/8" Tube Diameter
- 36" Tube Length
- 3" Dual Exhaust all the way back
- Flowmaster Mufflers (forgot the part number...)
I live at 5200 ft elevation and run 91 octane if I have to but typically mix with E85 to about 30% ethanol.
I know the right answer is take it to a speed shop and have it dyno tuned and some day I will - not least because I want to know how much power it's actually making. But time, money and proximity make that tough so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
